It often strikes me that the actors in high school movies look too old.

I was always the youngest boy in my class at high school. I have retained this feeling of being the youngest, even though now I am almost the oldest person I know.
In my family, education was something you endured. My parents weren’t educated past high school, and the only book in our house was a ‘Reader’s Digest’ condensed book. Can you imagine?
I almost went to Central Saint Martins for fashion design. I deferred for a year when I graduated high school so that I could go model and make some money and immerse myself in the fashion industry for a year.
In high school, in sport, I had a coach who told me I was much better than I thought I was, and would make me do more in a positive sense. He was the first person who taught me not to be afraid of failure.

What did I do in high school? I grew from 5 feet 4 inches to 6 feet 2 inches.

We’re not in high school anymore and we’ve had a little more life experiences to help us better understand what were going through in terms of stardom and recognition.
We ought to teach kids more about the Big Bang and entropy and particles. Every high school graduate should know that everything in the universe is made of a handful of particles. That’s not a hard thing to know. But that’s not what’s emphasized.
Out of 3,500 students in my high school, I was the only openly professing Christian kid. Obviously there were challenges. ‘Only old and stupid people believe.’
I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It’s my hippie way of life.

I won state cross-country competitions several times during high school.

I wasn’t bullied in high school, I was just ignored.
I did pretty good for a guy who never finished high school and used to yodel at square dances.

I worked as a secretary, a waitress and a dance teacher – all in high school.
I went to Catholic high school for half a year and religion wasn’t the cool thing to talk about even at a catholic high school. It never came up.

I’d wanted to be a director since I was five and had been making videos since I was a kid. Then YouTube came around during high school. I was making videos, and it was just a place to put them, like storage.
When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.
My mom passed away a day before high school started, and her dream was for me to be a full rock and roll guy, and play drums in a band.

When I was in high school, I was a bad kid and a good student.
I never felt comfortable in my own skin, and I feel like I missed out on a lot of high school experiences because I was so worried about where I fit in because I was so confused.

I wasn’t popular in high school; I had no friends.
In high school I had a boyfriend who was super into rap, so I was into Too $hort and Wu-Tang for a little while. And my best friend’s older brother would sometimes drive us home in this pimped-out truck, and he’d play all his dirty rap music. We thought we were really cool.
I survived high school in Virginia, so the internet is no match.
I can say that when you model,when you get to a certain age, that’s it for you. I remember there was a time where I was like, ‘What am I going to do with my life?’ I am a high school dropout who’s only modeled. So there was desperation with that.
If I had to do a lot of promotion as a kid, it would have been very intense. I’m really glad I got to go through high school, have a college experience, and have the last five years since then, just… being a person.
Freedom Summer, the massive voter education project in Mississippi, was 1964. I graduated from high school in 1965. So becoming active was almost a rite of passage.
